If I’m employed as a bus driver, and I decide overnight that I’m just going to start working dispatch without approval, I lose my job.

We need a mechanism to remove representatives who have chosen to no longer represent what they did when elected. Or, we need to stop using representatives.

Recall elections are a thing, are they not?

In theory, the election cycle acts as that mechanism and they’d fail to get reelected. However, a combination of the 2-party-system and general voters’ apathy when it comes to politics means that in the vast majority of cases an incumbent just needs to slap a D or R next to their name and they’re in office for as long as they want.

I can only assume that the author of the article is either a few years old or slept through the last forty years, because yes, conservatism is exactly what you voted for. And that’s the problem, no matter which team color you pick, you get conservative outcomes.

Definitely don’t leave ICE an anonymous tip. That would be bad.
